Stumped on physics problem

They meet in a pub and discuss why they have to fight for a king they didn't vote for. After a few pints of Harp, they realize they don't vote for kings. Sir Alfred being the quicker of the two unsheaths his sword and aims to do in Sir George. However, Sir Alfred is quite drunk at this point, misses his mark and slays the barkeep. Horrified, both good knights flee the pub only to be confronted by a regiment of King Edward's best men. Both, though still very drunk, managed to fight through the mob and escape. Nothing was heard from them for several years. It was rumored they had escaped to France or Saxony (what is now present day Germany). In 1928 a sword was found in Virginia with an insrciption on the blade. It was simply the letter A. Did it belong to Sir Alfred? Carbon dating puts the age of the sword at about the time he lived, but at this point one can only speculate. Hope this helps your physics problem.
